How could this thread get more than two posts before someone said

DENNIS JOHNSON for Rick Robey!


Sorry, there is not even a close second for trade-suckage compared to that one.

I think most of the fans on this board are kids who have no memory of anything prior to the Barkley years

This is true. I'm 26 and Barkley made me a fan.

Slightly off topic, but have the New York Knicks EVER made a trade that worked in their favor? I mean, in their entire history?

DENNIS JOHNSON for Rick Robey!

[SunsTzu]

2007: #24 for $$$

 

[DevonCardsFan]

Danny Manning, Pat Garrity and 2 1st round picks for Penny Hardaway (sign and trade).

No way that was a good trade!! All the way, Penny was in the top 3 in NBA talently he just got hurt. Manning was on the end of his career, Garrity Sucks, And Suns were winning so the 1st were not high

That was a great trade to dump Googs huge Salary, That was actually one of the better trades as well!!

 

[hcsilla]

Gugliotta's contract was expiring, the deal only helped to avoid luxury tax.

So does #24 for cash...

Now, it's time for celebrating...

You do know it was DJ AND a #1 for Robey.

Wasn't that the pick that ended up being Amare? The Suns made the trade for Bo Outlaw so they could get a pick back, and I think it was that one.

 

[Diamondback Jay]

Dumbest trade... Hmmm.. This ain't a trade but picking Heads over Tails in the infamous Kareem Coin Flip... That looks pretty dumb now..

(Just a little light hearted humor)

 

[Ollie]

2004's #7 draft pick (Deng or Iguodala) for 2004's #31 pick (Jackson Vroman), 2005's #21 pick (the right to get rid of Q) and cash to pay Jahidi White.
